Is it awkward if I take this moment to confess my long-standing girl crush on Laney Crowell? ‘Cause it’s almost impossible not to develop one within minutes of meeting this chic NYC-based beauty who doles out warmth and wisdom in equal measure. Laney and I first crossed paths through a mutual friend many years ago when […]
You’ve graduated, worked internships, maybe even freelanced. But how do you make the jump to actually start your career and find a job with zero experience under your belt? It’s a common issue – while you may have excelled at school, once you’ve dropped off the cap and gown, you’ve got a nearly blank resumé. But […]
Morning, friends! It’s a sunshine-y weekend here in Austin, and we’ve been filling it with hours in the pool, lots of giggles, breakfast tacos, and poké bowls. I couldn’t be more thankful to be spending this Mother’s Day with the little humans I love most, and they’ve been showering me with extra hugs (and a […]
Motherhood is tough enough, so when we see women who handle it all so gracefully and manage to document it beautifully, we can’t help but get sucked into their beautiful feeds. With Mother’s Day around the corner, we thought, what better time than now to highlight some of our favorite leading ladies and their broods? They’re fun, […]
We designed our first ever Camille Styles caps for this year’s #GetHealthyGetTogether and that got us all talking about our favorite ways to wear caps outside of the gym. We asked our favorite stylist Erica Rae to come up with a great hair solution for wearing baseball caps in the summer, and she created this super […]
Sunshine and Saturdays are two of our favorite things. So when you put those together and add in hundreds of our Austin readers, well, we’d call that a pretty great day. This past weekend we all met up at The Long Center for a morning barre class with MOD Fitness, a relaxing meditation led by Kate […]
Morning, friends! I still have a perma-smile plastered on my face after yesterday’s #GetHealthyGetTogether we hosted here in Austin. It was pretty unbelievable to see that many women working out and connecting with each other, and scrolling through the hashtag this morning left me speechless – and so thankful for the amazing community we get to […]
According to Japanese organizing guru Marie Kondo, we should only have items in our home that “spark joy.” I’ve been thinking about her little reminder with recent redecorating projects, and it’s certainly the ethos behind today’s featured artist, Lucy Cuneo, whose work is “a celebration of color, texture, natural beauty and abundance.” I first fell in love […]
ed note: Next up in our Pulling It Off series: stylist Taylor shows me how to wear the season’s best menswear trousers in a way that feels feminine, not frumpy. Turns out, it’s all about the fit. Take it away, Tay! From the moment I first laid eyes on Diane Keaton in Woody Allen’s 1977 […]
Most people think about detoxes and resolutions on January 1st, but the real winners in life are the ones that think about setting and achieving goals year-round. And since summer is on the horizon and we’re already half way through 2017 (yikes!), my team and I at Career Contessa decided that May was a great […]
Equal parts warmth and high style.
Morning, friends! I’m feeling pretty amazing this morning after nailing my first night of solid sleep in a few weeks; between lots of travel, late-night events, and Henry suddenly deciding to revert to multiple nightly wake-ups, good sleep has been elusive lately. But last night we went to bed early, and the stars aligned for a […]
